Based on the steps obtained by Sony, gamers may most certainly go ‘Yippee’ as a post made on the official PlayStation blog announced a price drop for the PlayStation 3 bringing it to $249, a decrease in $50 from its initial cost. Persistent for over five years since its debut into the global market, the price reduction is with an obvious cause to boost its sales.
Additionally, during its long run the device has encountered around 50 million sales and has more than two thousand titles on its list. With the huge number of games available and upcoming ones like Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One, the deduction in its costs has only brought users a step closer to the hi-definition gaming experience and various other features like TV and sporting events, Netflix, Hulu Plus, Vudu, MLB TV and NHL Gamecenter.
Jack Tretton, President and CEO stated in the blog post, “The new price will make the PS3 more accessible than ever before, so there’s never been a better time to join PlayStation Nation. We know that while future-proof technology is important to you, content is still king — that’s why we continue to focus on bringing you exclusive ‘must have’ titles that are unmatched by anything else on the market. With games like Resistance 3, Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One and one of my personal favorites, Uncharted 3, all on the horizon, there’s a lot of great entertainment in store for you.â€
With its provision in exclusive games and access to sports, movies and TV at convenient values, Jack Tretton also hinted towards newer offerings to surface from the company. Furthermore, users can acquire the limited edition inFamous 2 bundle that comprises the 320GB PlayStation3, a copy of the title and a 30-day PlayStation Plus membership for a price of $299 (approx. Rs. 13,649).
